#168 - Do This FIRST to Slow Aging at the Cellular Level
If your energy is tanked, your skin looks older, and your brain feels like it’s buffering—don’t blame age, blame your cellular energy. Your mitochondria have shifted into slow gear to protect you. In fact, mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the 12 Hallmarks of Aging.
In this episode of Pretty Well, I’m breaking down how these tiny energy factories inside your cells control everything from how you age to how well you think, move, and recover.
We talking 9 evidence-based (must-know) hacks to protect your mitochondria and even boost mitochondrial biogenesis (fancy for “make more of the good stuff”) so that you can slow and even reverse signs of aging.
From red light therapy and fasting options to specific nutrients and why your mitochondria love colorful veggies more than you do—this is the anti-aging roadmap you actually want to follow.
No gimmicks, no powders, no $400 serums. Just real tools to feel younger, stronger, and sharper from the inside out. Because getting older is inevitable—but aging tired, inflamed, and foggy is not.
